These instruments are powered by two 1.5 V dry Alkaline ‘C’ size
batteries.
About 30 % capacity is obtained when using two 1.5V ‘AA’ alkaline
batteries and supplied ‘AA’ to ‘C’ size battery adaptors or 50%
capacity when using two 1.2 V rechargeable NiMH ‘C’ size batteries.
Instrument Function Battery run time in hours:
Optical Power Meter 360
Optical Light Source 190 in Autotest
When the batteries are low, the low-battery indicator is shown on the
display. At this stage, there is approximately enough energy for
another 10 hours of use.
To save energy, the instrument automatically turns off after 10
minutes without operation.
To change the batteries, open the cover of the battery compartment
at the base of the instrument, remove the batteries, insert new ones
(check polarity) and close the cover again.
For operation of the instrument by external power, use AC adaptor
OPT103B or connect to computer via USB cable.
Suitable external power packs are easily available and must meet
the following requirements:
•
Comply with safety regulations and rated for local mains
supply voltage
•
Regulated or unregulated DC output 6-12V at 300mA max
•
Connection po ve pin
Use of the external power supply disconnects the batteries as a
safety precaution, since accidental charging of alkaline cells is
hazardous. Rechargeable batteries must be removed for charging by
an external charger.
CAUTION!
Do not use lithium batteries or other batteries with a nominal voltage
greater than 1.8 V. The instrument may be damaged.
Protect our environment! Some batteries contain toxic heavy metals,
so please dispose of them by returning to a re-cycling centre.
Batteries purchased from Kingfisher agents can be returned to them
for appropriate disposal.
